Even if you didn't verbalize "getting healthy and exercising more" in 2014 as a New Year's resolution, I'll just bet it's in the back of your mind. My resolution this year was "to take the time". Stop procrastinating and take the time to do the things I need and want to get done. Ken, my co-host asked what "things"? IT could be anything! From including more time with friends and family to finally cleaning the craft room. But, one of my "things" is to also provide a healthier diet for my family and Taste of Home will be a big part of making that happen in 2014!

We have a friend who is vegan. When I asked what that meant, he said he doesn't eat anything with a face. I guess that's true, but I had been hoping for a more technical answer. I wanted to know the difference between vegan and vegetarian. I don't know if I could do it, but I've heard of so many health benefits, I thought I'd research it and even borrowed a vegan cookbook to see if anything sounded good.

My daughter's birthday dinner was at grandma's house last night. Corned venison was on the menu. I didn't try it then, but took a baggie of it to work this morning so Ken could try it. He MADE me try it too and ya know what??? It wasn't that bad, tasted JUST like corned beef. With MN and WI deer hunting seasons over, I thought I'd look for other possible venison recipes that I think would have a taste that I wouldn't mind. Taste of Home's Venison Taco Pie looks yummy! What's your favorite venison recipe?

I have always resorted to an "egg bake" when I have overnight guests. It's something I can whip up the night before and throw in the oven the next morning. But, this recipe from Taste of Home is too unique and sounds too yummy to pass up this year. It's a five-star recipe that got rave reviews. I'll be a one-upper on myself this year! If you have holiday guests spending the night WOW them on Thanksgiving and now for breakfast the day after.

Every year a FREE thanksgiving buffet is offered by Community Volunteers with assistance from staff and management from the College of St. Scholastica. Approximately 5,000 area persons in need are served a delicious turkey dinner with all the fixings, either at the DECC or by having a meal delivered to their home. Join our Community Family and let's celebrate Thanksgiving together.

I have a spring form pan and have only made cheesecake in it. Thanks to Taste of Home, I have another reason to dig the spring form pan out from the back of the cupboard. I've never tried making a torte before but it looks fantastic and I'm excited to serve it on Thanksgiving as an alternative dessert to my homemade pumpkin pie.

I usually buy my pies for Thanksgiving. Recently, I found this Signature Pumpkin Pie recipe in a grocery store inspired mini cookbook that looked fairly easy (that's how I gauge whether I'm going to attempt to make something or not) and thought I'd try it BEFORE the holiday to make sure it has the deliciousness stamp of approval. I couldn't believe what my daughter said about it!

The Northland is expecting a rain/snow mix. To the South in Minneapolis, 4-6 inches of snow. You didn't have time to dig the crock pot out from behind the bread maker on those make-shift shelves in the dark room of your basement, but you want to serve something warm and tasty for dinner. Here's the answer, Taste of Home's Roasted Pepper Potato Soup.

Looking for a whimsical decoration for your Halloween Party table? This idea from Taste of Home looks darling and is edible! Halloween Party Pretzels. I make pretzels covered with almond bark and sprinkles for Christmas, but never thought about using them for other holidays. Thanks, Taste of Home!

Several people have been out getting their deer stands ready for the hunting season anticipating the 30 pointer. Here's a 5-star recipe from Taste of Home that may help in the incentive department. (Even if you get skunked, you can use a chuck roast and still have an awesome meal!)

My daughter Kylee surprised me by leaving chocolate covered (your guess is as good as mine) on the stove with a note that said "can you guess what this is, I bet you'll like them". So, I tried them and my first guess was chocolate covered jalapeno pieces. She responded "nope"! After a few more wrong guesses she said, chocolate covered ginger pieces, WHAT?????
